What's up ladies and gentlemen?
And welcome back to Vagabrothers.
It's day two of our Glade scent- inspired road trip,
and right now we're standing out front
of the Carmel Mission.
Yesterday we were exploring the Aqua scent ,the beautiful coastal vibes of Monterey and Carmel .
Today we're getting more earthy.
We're heading inland to the Redwood Forest.
So stay tuned. We've got a lot of cool stuff planned.
Let's get this road trip started.
Alright ladies and gentlemen, the first stop in today's road trip is here in the Carmel Valley.
We've come to Holman Ranch to grab a little bit of lunch.
It's a Hacienda dating back to Spanish times, and they put together a beautiful spread for us just inside.
So let's go grab some food. Vamanos.
I've got a little roast beef with some
citrus zest on the outside,
some watermelon with feta and mint,
arugula salad with some tomatoes and some red onion.
This is definitely not an arugula salad.. It is a kale salad.
But arugula
So as you may know, the idea behind this road trip is to discover the real-life
inspirations of the new Glade Plugins Car.
In this case we have some citrus,
cucumber, and mint.
I wonder how many dinners and lunches and siestas have been taken here over the years?
I think we can add, compare those to the list. Hopefully a siesta
Yeah. It's beautiful here.
I think one of the coolest things about this part of California is
how you have the coast, and it's all misty.
And the ocean we went paddle boarding yesterday and you have humpback
whales just 20 minutes from here.
And then up here in the hills, it's dryer.
You have oak trees; these rolling hills, and these ranches that have existed
since the times when that mission was built.
Pretty awesome. It is awesome. Bon Appetit
Alright ladies and gentlemen...well we've just finished lunch,
and we're going to hop back in the car and head to the forest.
Let's go.
We have driven to the edge of a redwood forest.
And if you don't know much about the redwoods,
they're the tallest trees in the world, and they grow almost exclusively here in California
in Central and Northern California, primarily.
We're going to go take a little stroll through this forest
and see what we can find.
You know the thing that I love the most about the redwoods is that it gives you perspective.
It's kind of a humbling experience.
You're surrounded by giants, natural giants.
These are the most magnificent living creatures on the planet.
They're giants, and being surrounded
by them right now, being surrounded by these ferns, the
fragrances from this forest are absolutely incredible.
And that's why we came here:
to be inspired, basically, by these big natural beauties.
This place is gorgeous.
The smell of the forest is awesome.
In California, there's tons of different scents.
Down in Southern California, we have more desert in chaparral.
Up here when you cross the boundary of Big Sur and come into Monterey Carmel in this whole area,
you really just get a different flavor of California, entirely.
For the grand finale of the day,
we have arrived at this awesome contraption.
It's basically a fragrance pod. It is a custom-built
tree house designed by Glade to resemble a pine cone.
They built it just for us,
and we're going be able to spend a night in it.
It's basically suspended from these giant trees in the middle of the forest.
We're going to go up this ladder and check out our accommodations for the evening.
I'm only halfway up, but this is super steep and awesome.
Haven't even gone inside yet, but I have to say
this is the most serious tree house I have ever seen.
Come retirement I'm going to look up the architect because this is goals, serious goals.
Anyways, let's take a look inside.
Definitely not designed for people with a fear of heights.
Designed for people with a love of adventure.
Wow. No?
Incredible. This is nuts.
We're like in the forest and we're swinging, and
part of the floor is transparent..
so not to mention all the windows.
This is nuts.
Let's open up these babies.
I have never been...
A: up in the air like this.
B: in the canopy of redwoods.
And C: have a little view down to the
forest floor, but we have a cozy little cot set up here,
and the drawbridge is closed.
We're here overnight.
It's going to be really, really cool.
Definitely one of the most unique places we've ever slept in.
If we were getting immersed in the inspiration behind the fragrances earlier,
Now we are immersed.
We are literally sleeping in a Plugin.
It should be pretty chill.
All right. So it's a beautiful morning here in the redwoods.
We just woke up...nestled amongst the trees.
Thank you to Glade for bringing us out here.
Hopefully, you guys enjoyed the adventure and enjoyed the videos.
If you did you know what to do: give it a big thumbs- up, share with your friends, and subscribe.
And turn on notifications, if you haven't already. In the meantime remember to stay curious, keep exploring,
and we will see all of you guys and girls on the road, hopefully in another awesome treehouse very, very soon.
Ok guys. Peace
I'll be base
